Basil Leaf | Italian Reviews
The chicken pastini soup was served nice and hot, loaded with fresh veggies and chicken. Very good. The clams casino were perfectly prepared and so delicious, only problem was that we wanted more. Our entrees were excellent and accompanied with delicious crusty Italian bread. Will be back for more!
The service was great and the food was amazing. The gorganzola filet was delicious. Marcus makes great food. I can't wait to come back.
I ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken is boiled..not seared…not grilled. Absolutely no flavor to the chicken. Very little to the sauce either. It’s supposed to be a cheese sauce and it just tasted like heavy cream. At my table there was splatters of food all over the wall that our table was pushed up against. Thankfully I didn’t notice until I was done eating or I would’ve completely been nauseated.
